Support for herd.yml Configuration File for Automatic Environment Setup

[SagarNaliyapara]

I would like to suggest a feature that adds support for a herd.yml configuration file in Laravel projects. This feature would allow Laravel Herd to automatically detect and set the versions of PHP, Node.js, MySQL, and other specified components based on the configurations provided in the herd.yml file located at the root of the Laravel project.

Example,

php: 8.1
node: 16
mysql: 8.0

Mainly this is to ensures that all developers working on the project have a consistent development environment.
Ease of Setup: Simplifies the initial setup process for new developers by automatically configuring the required versions and settings.

This would be incredible and make Herd Pro a no-brainer. Right now I have a mix of Docker, Sail, and vagrant for different dev envs, when a herd.yml file could replace them I'm pretty sure 😍

Herd now supports a herd.yml file :)
